F-One Bandit Airlite Bandit 4 Control Bar and Lines Designed for use with the F-One Bandit 4 Kite, the F-One Bandit 4 Control Bar offers a simple 4 line control system with safety 5th line.
Simplified and improved for 2011, the F-One Bandit 4 Control Bar now has knots on the leader lines underneath the bar floats to adjust the rear line lengths rather than the bulky adjusters featured on F-One control bars from previous years.
The new UPS Chicken Loop is constructed from metal rather than plastic and should prove much more reliable against breakage. For advanced riders, the kite leash can now be easily attached to the chicken loop for riding in 'suicide mode'.
Features and Benefits...
- NEW UPS: makes hooking back into the chicken loop much easier.
- NEW rotating chicken loop finger: allows the finger to be moved out of the way for unhooked riding.
- NEW unhooked leash connector: allows the kite leash to be attached to the chicken loop rather than the 5th line.
- Ball Bearing Swivel: no more twists in the front lines!
- Power Adjustment Cleat: the simplest system available for reliable and durable power / depower trim. Now 3cm closer to the rider.
- Medium Sized Chicken Loop: one chicken loop for all riders! (previous F-One kites have been supplied with a small loop for normal riding and a large loop for unhooked riding).
- Life Line: attaches to the front lines of the kite and offers immediate and total power kill should the emergency release be activated.
- Dual Composite Construction: the aluminium centre piece combined with a fibreglass bar offers the perfect strength to weight ratio. With a reduced diameter, the bar is easy to handle without creating unnecessary fatigue. The bar has been specifically designed to allow the hand to be positioned over the centre for unhooked riding.
- Vario Grip: the EVA foam bar grip varies in thickness to offer the rider optimum grip. Double thickness foam on top of the bar where hand pressure is the higher gives optimum comfort.
- Alu Centre Part: with a polished finish and efficient shape, the centre hole allows a massive sliding angle with minimum friction for performance and durability.
- Soft Ends: soft double thickness foam bar ends prevent hand injury if the bar is pulled violently from the rider's grip during extreme use.
- Velcro Emergency Release: no moving parts for safe and immediate release in any situation. The simple design can be re-constructed in seconds even with gloves on.
- Yellow Stopper Ball: prevents the bar from riding up beyond reach when the safety release is activated.
- Elasticated Line Winders: keeps the lines tidy when packed away and prevents tangles.
